Pet Dental Care in San Jose, CA

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems diagnosed in dogs and cats. At Acacia Pet Clinic, our Pet Dental Care Services in San Jose are designed to prevent pain and serious health complications. Plaque and tartar build-up can lead to infection that spreads to the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Imagine what your teeth would look like if you didn't brush them for years. That is essentially what is happening to your pet's mouth without regular home care and professional cleanings.

Signs Your Pet Needs Dental Care

Many pet owners don't realize their pet has dental pain because dogs and cats are experts at hiding discomfort. Watch for these common signs:

Bad breath (Halitosis) - one of the first signs of dental disease
Yellow or brown tartar buildup on bacteria
Bleeding, swollen, or red gums
Difficulty eating, chewing on one side, or dropping food
Clawing at the mouth or rubbing face on floor
Excessive drooling
Loose or missing teeth
Loss of appetite or weight loss

Comprehensive Dental Cleaning & Treatment

A professional dental cleaning indicates much more than just scaling tartar off the teeth. Our comprehensive dental services include:

Pre-Anesthetic Exam & Blood Work

Ensuring your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia is our top priority. We perform thorough screenings before every procedure.

Anesthesia & Monitoring

Dental procedures must be performed under general anesthesia to allow for a thorough cleaning below the gumline and to ensure your pet's safety and comfort. We utilize advanced monitoring equipment throughout the procedure.

Dental X-Rays

Most dental disease occurs below the gumline. Digital radiographs allow us to see the roots of the teeth and surrounding bone to diagnose abscesses, fractures, and bone loss that are not visible to the naked eye.

Scaling & Polishing

We use ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth, both above and below the gumline. Afterwards, the teeth are polished to smooth the surface and retard future plaque buildup.

Extractions & Oral Surgery

If a tooth is diseased or broken beyond repair, extraction may be necessary to relieve pain and prevent infection. Our veterinarians are skilled in oral surgery techniques to ensure your pet's comfort and quick recovery.

Home Care Matters:

Dental care doesn't end at the clinic. We can show you how to brush your pet's teeth and recommend appropriate dental treats and diets to help maintain their oral health between professional cleanings.
